Podcasts about Ignoring

What if the reason you can't sleep, can't focus, and come home completely depleted has nothing to do with your schedule — and everything to do with what you're doing to your emotions?In this episode, Dr. Glenn Hill, Phyllis Hill, and Tera Wages go deep on one of the most important — and most overlooked — tools in the Connection Codes toolkit: oohing yourself. Not your partner. Not your kids. Yourself.We've all been taught some version of "don't be emotional," "choose joy," "power through." But what that messaging actually does is train us to reject ourselves at the deepest level. And the cost? It shows up in your body, your sleep, your productivity, your relationships, and your health.In this episode, you'll discover:Why suppressing emotions doesn't make them disappear — it sends them straight into your cells (and the science behind what that does to your body)The 3 powerful questions that help you tune into yourself in under 60 secondsHow a woman's 12-year battle with insomnia ended after one night of doing the Core Emotion WheelWhy "positive thinking" culture may actually be working against your emotional healthThe real reason you have nothing left for your spouse and kids at the end of the dayHow to process fear, shame, and hurt in 10–15 seconds (without a therapy session)What Tera discovered about herself, her kids, and the mistakes she made before she had these toolsThis episode is for you if:You've tried the productivity hacks, the sleep supplements, the mindset work — but something still feels stuck. Or if you teach communication tools to others and still forget to use them on yourself (yes, Tera goes there).Resources mentioned:

Send a textMost salon owners aren't stuck because they're lazy. They're stuck because they're not making structural changes to their business.They work harder. They take more clients. They stay late. They put out fires all day long. But the underlying systems, leadership structure, and business design never evolve, and eventually, growth stops.In this episode, we break down why salon owners fall into autopilot, how early success can create long-term stagnation, and why reactive decision-making keeps businesses trapped in the same patterns year after year.We also talk about leadership mindset shifts, intentionally building systems, asking better questions, and why working more hours isn't the solution. The solution is stepping out of operations mode and designing a business that can actually grow.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.And growth begins when you stop operating on autopilot.KEY TAKEAWAYSHard work alone won't evolve your business.Structural change is required for growth.Reactive leadership creates recurring problems.Systems eliminate repeated decision fatigue.Familiar patterns can limit long-term growth.Leadership confidence directly affects team stability.Early success can hide structural weaknesses.Ignoring financial data creates long-term stress.Owners must shift from being technicians to architects.Intentional design creates sustainable businesses.TIME STAMPS00:00 — Salon rebuild update and episode overview 02:00 — Jen's opening take: environment affects performance and confidence 05:00 — Todd's opening takes: autopilot and adapting retail models 09:00 — Why salon owners stay stuck 12:00 — Hard work vs structural change 15:00 — Reactive businesses vs intentional businesses 18:00 — Systems reduce daily chaos and stress 20:00 — Why familiarity keeps owners stuck 22:00 — Leadership uncertainty and staff hesitation 24:00 — Early success creates false stability 27:00 — Ignoring numbers and buried financial stress 29:00 — Asking for help and gaining clarity 31:00 — Leadership mindset shifts required for growth 33:00 — Why managers don't fix broken leadership 35:00 — Designing your business intentionally 37:00 — Final thoughts and next stepsLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

https://www.uncommen.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Money-Talk.mp3 Quick Answers What is Biblical Stewardship? It is the recognition that God owns everything, and we are merely managers of His resources. It shifts the burden of "providing" from your shoulders to His. Is money the root of all evil? No. Scripture says the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Money itself is morally neutral; it is a tool that reveals where your heart truly lies. Will more money solve my anxiety? Likely not. Anxiety often scales with income. True peace comes from trusting the Provider, not the size of the provision. How do I start budgeting with my spouse? Separate the "business" of the budget from the "romance" of the relationship. Don't ruin date night with a spreadsheet; schedule a specific time to talk numbers. Why is tithing important? It isn't about paying the church's light bill; it's a spiritual discipline that breaks the grip of greed and reminds us who the true Owner is. The Weight of the Wallet Man, we have all been there. You open the banking app on your phone, and your stomach drops. The number isn't what you thought it was. Suddenly, the transmission on the truck sounds a little clunky, the kids need braces, and you feel that familiar tightening in your chest. The world tells men that their worth is directly tied to their net worth. If you can provide, you are a success. If you are struggling, you are a failure. That pressure is crushing, and it keeps millions of men awake at night, staring at the ceiling, doing mental math that never seems to add up. But here is the hard truth: the anxiety you feel about money often has very little to do with the actual amount in your account. We assume that if we just hit that "magic number"—the next raise, the paid-off mortgage, the lottery win—the fear will vanish. It won't. The only thing that truly alleviates financial anxiety is a fundamental shift in perspective. We have to move from a mindset of ownership to a mindset of Biblical Stewardship. When you realize you aren't the owner of the resources, but merely the manager, the pressure begins to lift. Defining the Terms: What is Biblical Stewardship? In church circles, we hear the word "stewardship" and immediately clutch our wallets because we assume it's code for "the pastor needs a new roof." But Biblical Stewardship is far more expansive and liberating than just a Sunday offering. Biblical Stewardship is the theological belief that God is the owner of everything—your money, your house, your car, your talent, and even your next breath. Psalm 24:1 is clear: "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it." If you are the "owner" of your life, then every financial hit is a personal attack on your security. If the market crashes, you lost. If the water heater breaks, your kingdom is crumbling. That is a heavy burden to carry. However, if you embrace Biblical Stewardship, your role shifts. You are now the asset manager for the Creator of the Universe. Your job isn't to hoard or to worry; your job is to ask, "Lord, how do You want me to manage these resources You have entrusted to me for this season?" The success of the "fund" ultimately rests on His sovereignty, not your striving. The Great Misquote: Money vs. The Heart To understand Biblical Stewardship, we have to clear up one of the most common lies men believe. You have probably heard someone say, "Well, money is the root of all evil." That is technically incorrect. The Apostle Paul actually wrote to Timothy that "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" (1 Timothy 6:10). There is a massive difference. Money is just paper and metal. It has no moral agency. It can be used to traffic humans, or it can be used to build orphanages. The money isn't evil; the heart handling it is where the danger lies. When we fail to practice Biblical Stewardship, we start to love the gift more than the Giver. We look to the bank account for the security and peace that only God can provide. That is when money becomes an idol. And like all idols, it will eventually crush its worshippers. True Biblical Stewardship requires us to hold money with an open hand. We respect it as a tool, but we refuse to worship it as a god. The "Just A Little More" Trap You might be thinking, "That's all great theology, but I have real bills. If I just had an extra $10,000 a year, I wouldn't be stressed." Don't be so sure. The podcast hosts discussed a phenomenon that every financial advisor has seen: the moving goalpost. You can talk to a man making $40,000 a year, and he is stressed. You can talk to a man making $400,000 a year, and he is also stressed. The lifestyle inflates to match the income. The guy making minimum wage worries about rent; the guy making millions worries about the stock market or losing his empire. There is a story of a billionaire who was asked, "How much money is enough?" His answer? "Just one more dollar." Without Biblical Stewardship grounding you, "enough" is a horizon you can never reach. You will chase it until you are in the grave. The practice of Biblical Stewardship teaches us contentment. It reminds us that our provision comes from the Lord, not from our hustle. It allows a man to look at what he has—whether it is little or much—and say, "Thank You, Lord. How should we use this?" rather than, "It's not enough." Practical Steps to Biblical Stewardship So, how do we move this from a theological concept to a Tuesday morning reality? Biblical Stewardship is practical. It shows up in how we budget, how we spend, and how we talk to our spouses. 1. The Budget is a Spiritual Tool If you don't know where your money is going, you aren't managing God's resources; you are losing them. Biblical Stewardship requires a plan. It's not about being a penny-pincher; it's about being intentional. Sit down and look at the numbers. Be honest. Ignoring the debt won't make it disappear. God can't bless a mess that you refuse to look at. By creating a budget, you are telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went. 2. Separate Finance from Romance Money is the number one cause of divorce. Why? Because we mix the stress of the bills with the intimacy of the relationship. Here is a pro-tip from the podcast: Don't do the budget on date night. Date night is for connection, dreaming, and enjoying each other. If you bring up the credit card bill over appetizers, the night is over. Schedule a separate "business meeting" for the household. During that meeting, practice Biblical Stewardship together. Pray over the bills. Ask God for wisdom. Then, when date night comes, leave the spreadsheet at home. 3. Build Margin for the Broken World A key component of Biblical Stewardship is preparation. The podcast noted that many men live "vacation to vacation" rather than preparing for the inevitable emergencies. If you spend every dime you make, you are presuming on the future. When the transmission blows or the medical emergency hits, you are forced into debt, which creates more anxiety. Biblical Stewardship involves the wisdom of the ant (Proverbs 6:6)—storing up in the summer so you are ready for the winter. Building an emergency fund isn't hoarding; it's responsible management that protects your family from the unexpected. The Tithing Question You can't talk about Biblical Stewardship without talking about giving. Why does God ask us to give? Does He need our money? No. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He doesn't need your check to keep the lights on in heaven. God commands us to give because He knows how easily money can grip our hearts. Giving is the antidote to greed. When you write that tithe check or support that missionary, you are physically declaring, "God, I trust You more than I trust this money." It is an act of rebellion against the scarcity mindset of the world. Some men get hung up on the "net vs. gross" argument or the specific percentages. They miss the heart of Biblical Stewardship. The goal isn't to check a legalistic box; the goal is to develop a generous spirit that mimics the generosity of God. As the podcast mentioned, we shouldn't just think about "paying the church's electric bill." We are investing in the Kingdom. From Anxiety to Trust The transition to Biblical Stewardship is rarely instant. It is a journey. You will have months where you fail. You will have moments where the fear grips you again. But the more you practice this mindset, the more you will find a strange, settled peace. You will realize that your identity isn't in your bank balance. You will stop looking at your neighbor's new truck with envy because you know you are running a different race. You will find joy in being a conduit of blessing rather than just a reservoir of cash. God wants you to be free. He doesn't want you enslaved to debt or paralyzed by the fear of the future. He invites you into the partnership of Biblical Stewardship so that you can experience the joy of trusting Him. When the bills stack up, take a deep breath. Remind yourself: "I am a manager, not the owner. God, show me what to do with what I have." A Challenge for the Steward This week, take one step toward Biblical Stewardship. Maybe it's finally opening that scary envelope from the bank. Maybe it's setting up a time to talk to your wife about the budget without fighting. Maybe it's giving something away just to prove to yourself that money doesn't own you. The world says, "Get all you can, can all you get, and sit on the can." But you aren't called to be like the world. If you are going to be something, be uncommen. Check out our other resources in our library. Follow Our Podcast on Apple | Spotify

What if consciousness isn't just in your brain, but in every cell of the universe? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Marjorie Woollacott—renowned neuroscientist and leading researcher on consciousness and spiritual experience—shares her personal journey of spiritual awakening. She describes a transformative guided meditation where she felt an electric current flow from her head to her heart, accompanied by an overwhelming sense of love unlike anything she'd ever experienced. Dr. Woollacott dives into the science, the mysticism, and the practical wisdom behind spiritual transformation, including: - Why it's vital to integrate spiritual experiences into daily life and how she finally merged her academic & spiritual paths after keeping them separate for so long - Neural features in the brain that limit access to extrasensory perception, and why some people are born with “their senses wide open” - Why you don't need a scientific explanation to fully embrace the positive transformation of a spiritual awakening - Practical tips to quiet your mind & deepen meditation, even if you've struggled in the past - How connection matters more than ever in challenging global times - Who is more likely to have psi abilities, and how Near Death Experiences can unlock hidden potential - How some people can go beyond space & time if they believe it's possible - Why placebo works & how to balance self-agency with surrendering to the universe - Her belief that consciousness exists differently in dreams & alternate states, and how collective consciousness can create real-world change - The incredible story of a doctor's out-of-body experience during hypnotic regression in an NDE, and what it teaches us about the mind and soul - Scientific argument for why telekinesis could be possible - Importance of finding purpose, noticing synchronicities, and staying “open” to life's hidden signals - Power of prayer & Reiki, and why establishing energetic boundaries between healer & patient is essential Whether you're curious about spiritual awakening, consciousness, extrasensory perception, near death experiences, or the science behind mysticism, this conversation will expand your mind, open your heart, and challenge what you thought was possible.

If you're a Christian woman stuck in emotional eating, food noise, and starting over every Monday… this episode is for you. This isn't another diet talk. It's about what happened when I realized I wasn't overweight because of food—I was hiding. People-pleasing. Doubting myself. Ignoring what God was nudging me to do. When I finally got honest about that… I dropped 13 pounds. Not from cutting carbs. Not from a new workout plan. From getting back in alignment with God's calling on my life. But then doubt came back… and so did the cravings. In this episode, I'm sharing my real-life story from my 100-lb weight loss journey and what God is teaching me about faith-based weight loss, emotional eating, and why food noise gets loud when we're living out of alignment. We talk about: • Why Christian weight loss starts with honesty, not another diet • How people-pleasing and hiding can trigger emotional eating • What “food noise” is and why it comes back when we doubt • Learning to trust God's direction for your health and your life • Moving from guilt and diet culture to stewardship and peace If you're tired of diets, tired of starting over, and tired of feeling alone in your faith-based weight loss journey… you're not crazy. And you're not alone. I started a free community for women who want real support, real faith, and real change—without pretending everything is perfect.

Do you ever feel anxious, irritable, or emotionally overwhelmed and have no idea why? What if the problem isn't your mindset but your connection to your body?In this episode of the Building Resilience Podcast, Leah Davidson introduces the hidden sixth sense that shapes every emotional experience you have: interoception. This is your brain's ability to sense what's happening inside your body, including your heartbeat, breathing, hunger, tension, and fatigue, and interpret those signals as emotions. When this system works well, you can catch stress early and regulate it. When it doesn't, you snap, spiral, shut down, or melt down before you even know what happened.Leah explores how trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism all influence interoceptive awareness and why strengthening this skill can dramatically improve emotional regulation, nervous system health, and resilience. The good news? Interoception is trainable. And it begins with simply noticing.We'll explore:• Interoception is your brain's ability to sense and interpret internal bodily signals. • Emotions are grounded in physical sensations before they become conscious thoughts. • Ignoring early body signals often leads to emotional overwhelm or shutdown. • Trauma can either numb body awareness or make you hypervigilant to sensations. • Anxiety involves hypersensitivity to internal signals, while depression often involves numbness. • Many neurodivergent individuals experience interoceptive differences. • Strengthening interoceptive awareness improves emotional clarity and regulation. • The first step is not fixing. It is noticing.LINKS AND RESOURCES:COMMUNITYMIDLIFE NERVOUS SYSTEM REWIRE COMMUNITY

This week on Left Standing, I'm joined by Taylor Tieman, founder of Legalmiga — and one of the few internet-savvy attorneys actually translating legalese into language you can understand. (She also loves astrology! Big plus!)If you're a creator, coach, course seller, influencer, or small business owner… this episode is basically your gentle (but firm) legal wake-up call.Taylor breaks down:* Why securing the Instagram handle is not the same thing as protecting your brand* What most entrepreneurs forget to check before naming a podcast, course, or program* How trademark issues usually only come up after someone gets a scary letter* Why legal documents are written to be confusing — and who that benefits* The checklist every online business should have (even though no two businesses are the same)We also get into the reality creators don't talk about publicly:* Speech clauses in brand contracts that can legally restrict what you say online* The financial consequences of breaching a sponsorship agreement* Why some creators stay silent during political moments (and why it's not always cowardice)* The real tension between personal values and contractual obligationsTaylor also shares her perspective as a lawyer navigating a time when the legal system feels slow, reactive, and often outpaced by harm — including her thoughts on corporate PR language (including statements from companies like Home Depot) and the mishandling of sensitive document releases related to the Epstein Files.If you've ever thought:* “I formed an LLC, so I'm good, right?”* “I'll deal with trademarks later.”* “That clause probably won't apply to me.”This episode is your sign to listen first and Google later.Because sometimes the most radical thing you can do as a business owner… is read the fine print.

In this sermon, Tommy walks the congregation through Ecclesiastes 12, using King Solomon's final reflections to confront the reality of aging, mortality, and meaning. Written near the end of Solomon's life, Ecclesiastes reflects a man who has experienced wealth, wisdom, pleasure, and power—yet concludes that life lived merely “under the sun” is ultimately meaningless apart from God. The sermon opens by framing Ecclesiastes as deeply honest and intentionally sobering. Solomon repeatedly uses the word “meaningless” to describe life when it is viewed only from an earthly perspective. This is not nihilism, but realism—designed to awaken people, especially the young, before time, strength, and opportunity slip away. Tommy explains that Ecclesiastes 12 is written as an allegory of aging, describing the gradual decline of the human body and mind. Solomon urges readers to “remember your Creator in the days of your youth,” because aging brings psychological, physiological, and eventually physical decline. The mind grows weary, joy becomes harder to find, and life can feel increasingly dark and repetitive. This is the psychological toll of aging when hope is rooted only in earthly things. Physiologically, Solomon's imagery vividly portrays the body breaking down: trembling hands, weakened legs, failing eyesight, loss of hearing, disrupted sleep, and diminished desire. Rather than being crude, the allegory preserves dignity while making the point unmistakable—human strength is temporary, and decline is inevitable. Finally, the physical conclusion is unavoidable: death. The “silver cord” is severed, the “golden bowl” is broken, and the spirit returns to God. Tommy emphasizes that Scripture is clear—death is certain, and judgment follows. Ignoring this reality does not delay it. Yet the sermon does not end in despair. Solomon closes with clarity and hope: “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of mankind.” Life gains meaning when lived with God at the center. Obedience, reverence, and eternal perspective anchor life with purpose that aging and death cannot erase. Tommy's central message is clear: wisdom is not found in denying mortality, but in preparing for it. The best time to orient life around God is not later—but now. Discussion Questions What does it mean to live life “under the sun,” and where do you see that mindset influencing your daily decisions? Why do you think Solomon specifically urges people to remember God while they are young? How does facing the reality of aging and death change the way you prioritize your time, energy, and relationships? In what ways can fearing God and keeping His commandments bring meaning to ordinary, everyday life? What is one practical step you can take this week to live with a more eternal perspective?

In this episode of Meaningful People, we sit down with Rabbi Avi Landa, LCPC, Mashgiach at the Talmudical Academy of Baltimore Middle School, Director of Education for Amudim, and Director of the Landa Counseling Center, to tackle one of the most pressing issues facing children and teens today: bullying. Drawing on his work in schools, private practice, and prevention programs worldwide, Rabbi Landa breaks down what bullying actually is (and isn't), why simplistic zero-tolerance approaches often fail, and how power dynamics and repeated behavior can deeply impact a child's sense of self. The conversation moves from theory to real, practical guidance for parents, educators, and communities: how to respond when your child is being bullied, when your child is the bully, and how empathy-driven intervention and education can genuinely change outcomes. We also explore the broader role of social-emotional learning in building healthier schools and safer communities.

1. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison’s Senate Testimony Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison was questioned in the Senate regarding alleged failures to prevent and address large‑scale fraud in the state’s Feeding Our Future program. Senators—primarily Josh Hawley—accused Ellison of: Ignoring whistleblower warnings as early as 2018–2019. Meeting with individuals later indicted for fraud and allegedly offering to “look into” investigators who were scrutinizing them. Accepting approximately $10,000 in campaign donations from individuals tied to the fraud shortly after their meeting. Ellison strongly denied wrongdoing, describing the claims as false and politically motivated. The session was tense, marked by interruptions, raised voices, and confrontational exchanges. 2. Refusal to Condemn Louis Farrakhan During questioning, Ellison declined to explicitly condemn antisemitic statements attributed to Louis Farrakhan. He attempted to redirect discussion to immigration topics, expressing discomfort with the line of questioning. 3. Democrats Linked to Record Sewage Spill Democratic officials in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia oversaw infrastructure failures leading to the largest sewage spill in U.S. history. A burst 72‑inch sewer pipe released nearly one billion gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River. Criticism is directed at: Lack of media coverage. Slow response times. Infrastructure mismanagement. Emergency pumps had to be transported from Texas and Florida to address the crisis. 4. Discussion of Government Competence Democratic‑run cities and states mismanage public systems (snow removal, wildfire mitigation, infrastructure maintenance, etc.). They argue such patterns reflect systemic governmental incompetence. 5. Save America Act & Voter ID Debate The Save America Act, passed in the House with near‑unanimous Republican support, requires: Proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote. Photo ID to vote. Senator Ted Cruz advocates for aggressive procedural tactics in the Senate, including: Forcing a “talking filibuster.” Using the two‑speech rule to pressure Democratic senators. The argument made: voter ID laws are widely supported across political and demographic groups. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Help Persecuted Christians TODAY: https://csi-usa.org/ Christian Solidarity International On today's Quick Start podcast: NEWS: A growing dispute between the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Office is raising questions in the Nancy Guthrie investigation. Federal sources claim key DNA evidence was kept from the FBI crime lab in Quantico, while Sheriff Chris Nanos strongly denies blocking access and says investigators agreed to keep all samples together at one lab. Meanwhile, surveillance footage of a masked suspect has been released, more than 13,000 tips have poured in, and the reward has climbed to $100,000 as the urgent search continues. FOCUS STORY: Does modern archaeology confirm the Bible — or contradict it? For years, some scholars cast doubt on whether King David even existed. But a major discovery in northern Israel reshaped the debate. CBN's Raj Nair travels to the Holy Land with Israeli tour guide Yoav Rotem to explore how archaeology is challenging skeptics and strengthening confidence in Scripture. MAIN THING: New images from Nigeria reveal the horrific reality facing Christians targeted in ongoing attacks. Advocates say the violence is systematic and underreported. Alex Barbir of Building Zion, recently back from Nigeria, explains why the persecution crisis is worse than many realize — and why believers there say they feel forgotten by the global community. LAST THING: Matthew 5:10-12 — “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” PRAY WITH US!

You've got a champion. Someone inside the account who gets it. They love your solution, they're fighting for your proposal, and they're feeding you intelligence about the decision-making process. So you're golden, right? Wrong. One reorganization, one promotion, one departure, and your deal could vanish overnight. Research from LinkedIn Sales Solutions analyzed thousands of enterprise deals and found something most salespeople refuse to believe: sales teams that build relationships with multiple stakeholders inside an account are 34% more likely to win.  That's the difference between hitting quota and missing it. Between a banner year and a brutal one. Why Single-Threaded Deals Die On average, 4-7 people influence a complex B2B buying decision. Even if you nail the pitch, you're still just one voice in a conversation happening behind closed doors. A conversation where people you've never met are raising objections you'll never hear. Where priorities you don't know about are shifting the criteria.  Your champion can be dismissed as "the person who likes that vendor." But when you've got three advocates from different departments? Consensus wins deals. Your Champion Won't Stick Around One in five of the people you're counting on right now won't be in their role twelve months from now. They'll get promoted, reassigned, poached by a competitor, or laid off in the next restructuring. When that happens to your sole contact, your deal doesn't just stall. It dies. The new person in that role has zero relationship with you, zero context on your solution, and zero incentive to champion something their predecessor started. But if you've built what top performers call "account insulation"—relationships with two, three, or four people across different departments and levels—the web flexes when someone leaves. It doesn't break. Weak Ties Matter More Than You Think We're trained to go deep with our primary contact. Build trust. Understand their pain points. Tailor every message to their specific needs. That's not wrong. It's just incomplete. In complex selling scenarios, influence often spreads through what researchers call weak ties—the casual, adjacent connections that link clusters of strong relationships. These are your amplifiers. A brief introduction. A shared article. A helpful insight that makes someone in operations remember your name when your solution comes up in a meeting you're not in. These loose connections become the difference between a deal that stalls and one that scales. Think about how deals from referrals close. They close twice as fast as deals that start cold. Accounts with multiple contacts grow larger, stay longer, and refer more business. The pattern is clear. Get enough internal referrals, and you stop being the vendor someone works with. You become the partner everyone trusts. Five Mistakes That Keep You Single-Threaded Account multithreading fails most often before it ever really begins. Not because it is hard, but because salespeople sabotage it with impatience, poor judgment, or misplaced effort. If you recognize any of these behaviors, they are costing you leverage inside the account. Trying to build fifty superficial relationships instead of multiple deep, meaningful connections. Spray and pray doesn't work in prospecting, and it doesn't work in account multithreading. Asking for referrals before you've built credibility. You can't extract value before you've created it. Failing to nurture the relationships you've already initiated. You can't plant seeds and never water them. Ignoring the law of reciprocity. If you don't offer value first—business insights, useful data, relevant introductions—people won't feel any obligation to help you. You'll burn through goodwill and get nothing back. Wearing out your welcome. If you've reached out multiple times with relevant insights and gotten silence, that's a signal. Move on. How to Build Your Account Web With Multi-Threading Start by mapping the web of people connected to your account. Decision makers, influencers, skeptics, the quiet analysts whose opinions shape what the decision makers think. Write it down. Visualize the relationships you have, the ones you need, and the blank spaces in between. Then ask questions that open doors and show you recognize the decision is bigger than one person. "Who else on your team would have a point of view on this?" "Would it be helpful if I shared what other departments are doing with similar tools?" "Is there someone else who should see this?" Or use my favorite: "I need your advice on this." That phrase invokes reciprocity and dramatically increases the probability they'll give you the referral. When trust is formed, asking for a direct referral becomes an act of generosity rather than an intrusion. Frame it around value, not obligation. "Would you be willing to introduce me to your colleague in operations? I think she'd have an interesting take on what we're talking about." "If anyone else on your team might benefit from this, would you mind sharing my name?" People say yes far more often than you think when you ask this way. The Quiet Chorus That Closes Deals The more people who trust you, the faster and further your message travels inside the account. You've got accounts in your pipeline right now sitting on a single thread. One job change, and that deal you've been nursing for months vanishes overnight. Stop searching for the one perfect contact. Start building a small community inside every account. It's not a single voice that carries your deal through. It's three voices in three different departments saying the same thing about you when you're not in the room. Protect Your Pipeline with Discipline Account multithreading isn't complicated, but it requires discipline and a shift in how you approach relationship-building. If you're ready to protect your pipeline, increase your win rate by 34%, and build accounts that grow instead of churn, start mapping your key accounts today. Identify the blank spaces. Ask better questions. Build the web before you need it. Ready to close more deals? Explore Keith Lubner's courses on Sales Gravy University. 

1. United Nations Funding Crisis The United Nations is facing financial collapse because the United States has reduced or withdrawn funding. This is a move to stop funding “woke” & ideological programs. The UN is ineffective, bureaucratic, and overly dependent on U.S. taxpayer money. Symbolic examples (turned-off escalators, reduced heating) are used to emphasize desperation and mismanagement. The U.S. withdrew from 66 international organizations and treaties, framed as: Cost-saving Anti-globalist Pro-American sovereignty Many of these organizations are described as obscure, wasteful, or hostile to U.S. interests. The underlying message is that global institutions dilute U.S. power without delivering value. 2. Media Merger and National Security Concerns Focus shifts to a major media merger (Netflix / Warner Bros / Paramount context). Concerns raised include: Foreign influence, especially money from the Middle East or China National security implications Loss of American cultural control The argument is that entertainment media shapes public perception more than news. Hollywood and major streaming platforms are portrayed as: Predominantly left-wing Hostile to conservative viewpoints Engaged in ideological indoctrination Executives are challenged on whether their content fairly represents conservatives. The inability to name conservative-oriented programming is used as evidence of bias. The merger is framed as dangerous because it could: Concentrate cultural and political influence Amplify a single ideological viewpoint The Department of Justice and FCC are identified as key gatekeepers. The timeline for approval is described as months to years, with high stakes for media freedom. 3. Save America Act (Voter ID Legislation) Proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote Photo ID to vote The bill is common-sense and widely supported, including among minority voters. Democrats, particularly Chuck Schumer, are accused of: Using “Jim Crow” rhetoric to scare voters Ignoring polling that shows broad support for voter ID Opposition is attributed to: Desire to preserve election vulnerabilities Partisan strategy rather than public opinion Ballot harvesting is described as inherently vulnerable to abuse. Examples (nursing homes, paid operatives) are used to argue: Elderly and vulnerable voters can be exploited Ballots can be selectively discarded The Carter–Baker Commission is cited to legitimize these concerns. Acknowledges internal Republican resistance and logistical challenges. Emphasizes urgency and political pressure as tools to pass the bill. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
